Heavy rain cripples Gurgaon

Описание: Gurgaon cames to a near standstill as traffic moved at snail's pace on waterlogged roads, including a large portion of the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway.

The city received around 56mm of rain, enough to bring on a deluge of problems that accompany the arrival of monsoon every year. It rained heavily for about half an hour starting 4pm, but low-lying areas like Sikanderpur, Jal Vayu Vihar, Golf Course Extension Road and several parts of old city went under knee-deep water.

The situation was particularly bad on Golf Course Road, where a section of the road caved in, and also on Faridabad road, where around a 400-metre stretch was flooded, leading to a huge traffic jam between 4.30pm and 7.30pm.

Stagnant water covered Faridabad road near Gwalpahari where some builders have allegedly blocked the natural drain with debris.

Even in the areas where traffic moved, an average delay of around 30 minutes was reported. Sohna Road, Sector 15, Jharsa Chowk, IFFCO Chowk, and Sector 29 also reported very slow vehicle movement.
